JOHN LENNON
Awesome wit, great songwriter, good looking as they come.....ummmm. I miss him!
John Lennon
John Lennon died in 1980. By that time, the Beatles had parted. Paul was then "Paul McCartney and Wings". Paul is the one who broke up the Beatles. John was the main music writer. ACtually I think John and Paul were each better on their own.
John Lennon
I have always loved John Lennon. He was my favorite from the first time I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I was just a kid but I fell in love with John the minute I saw him. I remember the day he died so vividly. I was totally in shock, OMG, blew me away. I miss John Lennon and his music.
"Woman" (I think that's the name) by John Lennon (nm)

John Lennon was much more than about drugs. NM

John Lennon was a bazillionaire. he had seen it
The only thing left at that point was to eat a placenta. Look at it from that point of view.
John Lennon did NOT eat a placenta!
As he would say - rubbish.
none of them are cute or relatable except John Lennon
John Lennon didn't do extraordinary things?
I'd say forming the Beatles, changing the face of rock music forever as well as fashion and writing a song like Imagine R pretty extraordinary, in my book.
Today's my birthday!!! sm
 just though I'd let ya'll know that! I'm 36!!! WooHoo!  Gonna be wastin' away in Margaritaville tonight! I've earned it!
Today's my Mom's birthday. What do you get for someone
who has everything and needs nothing? I'm never sure which books she has read or not. She likes to pick out her own clothing. She has plenty of flowers and plants. She already has tons of stinky candles and bath stuff. I can't think of anything original. Any ideas? Thank you.
My Birthday today, too (12/08) nm

Not that anybody cares, but my husband's birthday is today and he's 41.

I've always wondered about numerology. My birthday is on the 19th, my mom's birthday is on th
19th, my dad's birthday is on the 19th, and my great-grandmother's birthday is on the 19th. All of different months, but I've always wondered if there was something significant about the number 19 that I'm missing. 
hey...it's my birthday too! Happy Birthday! Enjoy! nm
Relax and enjoy every bite!
Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!
:)
Lennon
I was 33, but I don't remember where I was. It was not a defining moment for my life. Lennon and the rest of the Beatles are vastly, vastly overrated - Paul and John wrote some nice songs, but they have been given way too much publicity and prestige by some people.
It is unfortunate that a young man with a family (Lennon) was killed, but so were thousands of other young men in my generation. I think we miss their contributions to society as much as anything Lennon would have done. After all, with all his wealth and opportunities, he basically just spent his last years as a house husband doing drugs. What did he actually DO?
Remembering December 7th and Pearl Harbor is much more meaningful to me.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
4th is my birthday.
Can't believe how old I am. Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing.....
You say it's your birthday....nm

birthday
What makes it worse, they wanted us to tell THEM who pays such....Good grief..
I was 36 once.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO YOU !!!
Happy Birthday to You
 
Her birthday was Sunday. :)
It's been up there at the top since Sunday. lol
so why can't someone wish a Happy birthday
without someone else having to correct them? So what if it was Sunday. I love BD wishes early, ontime, or late.
Happy birthday!!!!
Tell him a very happy birthday! :)

Happy Birthday 2U!
LOVE that song....
I'm glad it's your birthday
happy birthday to you.
Let's sing along!
I remember that day well. It's the birthday sm
of a very dear, longtime friend. John Lennon was my friend's hero of all time and his hero was killed on his birthday. Just now I got an email from this friend, thanking me for the gift I sent him for his birthday--a reproduction of Lennon's report card in 1955-56. The headmaster's comment (in red) on the report card was: He has too many of the wrong ambitions and his energy is too often misplaced." His French teacher said: "A disappointing result. He is so fond of obtaining a cheap laugh in class that he has little time left for serious concentration."
Hope they lived to see John's success.
Happy Birthday!!nm

50th Birthday
I turned 50 last year. Don't know if you have access to co-worker's family, but if you do and can get some pictures, a little scrapbook is something I got that I just treasure. Mine had the internet stuff about the day in history, then prices on various things on that date, and then pictures of me and family from early years to present. Just a suggestion. Also, some of the Red Hat Society stuff is kind of fun.
50th Birthday
We did a party last year for my brother-in-law - just the regular "over-the-hill" stuff, but on the cake we had them write Happy half a century Birthday instead of using the 50 - it made it sound so much older. - I shouldn't gest - i'm almost there myself.
It's my birthday, DH says I get to pick where I want to eat.
Ohhhh, the possibilities!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! nm

Don't do Mother's Day as birthday is May 3rd
Kind of combine the two. Dinner tomorrow. Yee hah! No dishes.
Hubby and kids (that are still young enough to be home) cook and do the dishes on mother's day, so it's always been a nice week for me.
AND I'm a grandmom too.......... X 3.
Don't ask.  Still going uphill so far, though not far from the crest. 
Birthday suggestions
Anyone have any suggestions on something to do for a 15 year old birthday, looking to do something special/unique for my daughter, only her, her cousin and myself, open to ideas. Thanks
my 31st birthday, that's what!nm

Thank you!!! Birthday greetings to your husband too!
Thanks for being so nice and understanding what I'm going through!
John and Paul.
I love them both as a team and separately. Just think of all the wonderful music we lost out on because of Lennon's death.
Is this right? (location of JR in name): DOE, JOHN JR ? Thanks for your help. NM
Peace to you as well. Isn't that what John
was all about?
He didn't care about the money. He just wanted everyone to be peaceful and understand that peace, love and kindness to all mankind was all that would matter.
It's a sad world with all of the hate and anger when there is so much to see and do and be thankful for.
I honestly think that John Lennon would have been absolutely mortifed, had he lived long enough to see all of the hate that has made our world crazy.
Like John said, "All we are saying. . . is give peace a chance."
Elton John
RadGuy.. Lucky You. I have seen him in concert. He is absolutely awesome. You won't be disappointed. By the way, I am a late 60s teenager. You will have fun!
Elton John
Are you in for a treat! I'm an old 70's teen too. Saw Elton twice in the 70's in his wild costume days - the first was denim shorts with suspenders and red and white striped knee socks. The second was a Emerald Green Lame' (lamay - not lame) tuxedo. He was awesome, very energetic.
Saw him again 11 years ago on tour with Billy Joel, outfit more toned down, and he didn't jump around as much, but just as awesome.
You've never been to a rock concert? Be prepared for it to be loud!!! My ears used to ring after them when I was younger, not so much any more, but very loud.
Just bought Elton John Chronicles a 3 CD set - has his 70's stuff - Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection, and Madman Across the Water. -- AWESOME set.
Have fun!!!
Elton John...
OMG! He was (hate to use this cliche, but it fits) AWESOME. It was in the beautiful US Bank Arena in Cincinatti - he sang almost ALL his old songs with these fantastic special effects. He just plowed thru all these classic songs without stopping for three hours. Just blew me away - even tho I was in the "nosebleed" section but it wasn't that high up and there was also a huge big screen. Definitely a peak experience. And no one puked on me!
John & Yoko...
